Just a small field go to post and it looks as though two of the runners will dominate proceedings here with the THUNDERING BLUE just getting the nod over War At Sea both of whom have shown promise of late. Akamanto may well need some better ground before we see the best of him while First Up having shown some promise does face quite a stiff task off this sort of mark.
